How to overcome childhood pain will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Wednesday August 6th at 6:30pm.

The program features the filmed story of Delisa Mayer, whose family took part in an ill-fated university study during Mayer’s childhood.

The outcome of that study—to introduce a newborn chimpanzee into the family and raise it as a human child—shaped Mayer’s childhood and led to her parents’ divorce.

“Our family was torn up,” says Mayer. “It was a hard thing to live through.”

Admission to the 60-minute event is free and open to the public. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is located at Brew Unto Others Coffee Shop, 119 S Main St. Lamar, CO.
